Better protection than WAFs and RASPs
Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) and Runtime Application Self Protection (RASP) are the current solutions mainly deployed to protect web applications. WAFs are designed to protect against known attacks, using signatures from those attacks. RASP does not have the context of any app or app component other than itself and therefore can’t see more sophisticated attacks that are more distributed in nature. Both of these technologies are designed to protect against some of the vulnerabilities identified in the OWASP (web) Top 10, such as SQL-injection and cross-site scripting. Neither was created to secure APIs and unfortunately create a false sense of security.
The OWASP API Top 10 list defines the 10 most commonly attacked API vulnerabilities. Traceable AI protects against both the OWASP (web) Top 10 and OWASP API Top 10 vulnerabilities. It does this by learning from all transactions across the entire application landscape, using hundreds of thousands of data points, to determine what are normal behaviors for APIs, data, users, and code for every application and API, so that it can detect and block known AND unknown attacks.
The following table illustrates in detail how Traceable AI protection compares to WAFs and RASPs.
